Now you.

Joyce is a little rusty at praying out loud and probably doesn’t want to say so, and Rikk’s always had the gift of gab, so her deferring to him here, then adding a charming, goofy flourish at the end, makes sense to me.

Alisin does a pretty good job unpacking her feelings about this scene later in the story, so I’ll defer to her on that one for now.

I’m sure it’s awkward for Alisin to overhear them praying, but I think it would’ve been way more awkward for everyone if Rikk and Joyce had decided to pray in front of everyone else who don’t share their beliefs.
